I need about 5 different baskets & I want them all to have a different theme. For my best friend & her boyfriend, I was thinking a 'movie night' theme: a bottle of wine, a few buckets of popcorn, a few boxes of candy & a movie i know they both like. For my cousin & her husband, I was thinking of a 'breakfast' theme: putting homemade dry pancake mix in a jar & putting a tag on it that says what it is & 'Just Add Water' & doing the same thing for biscuits & gravy..all breakfast things. Does anyone have any other ideas? I need one for my Mom & Stepfather- they enjoy going to the beach, they have a small beach house, they like grilling food & cooking, going out to eat. I need one for my Aunt & Uncle- I'm not sure of a theme for they're although I do know that my uncle really likes Halloween & Mickey Mouse & my Aunt likes lighthouses & snow globes (i think lol) And I want to have two extra baskets on hand just in case I get an unexpected gift from someone. Any ideas?? Thanks in advance!!

For a Christmas treats theme, they have those cookie in a jar recipes that you add all of the dry ingredients to a jar and add a tag that tells what else to add. http://familycrafts.about.com/cs/giftsin
You could also add a loaf of cinnamon raisin french bread (the kind with icing on top) and some chocolate dipped pretzels. Also add some Betty Crocker cookie mixes and a set of Christmas oven mitts and towels. For another, do a pasta/Italian food one: Use a colander for the "basket" and add some dry pastas, sauces, and a bottle of wine. For your mom and stepfather, you could add some gourmet type BBQ sauces and maybe pick up a package of steaks (add those right before gifting). You could maybe get them some new BBQ tools. Add some flip flops and a book for each of them to read while lounging.
